Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Easy Company feels like it's trying to channel that effortless European café energy — 70+ labels spanning France, Italy, Spain, and California. It's approachable without being dumbed down, but nothing here screams 'collector's cellar.' This is a piazza wine bar that knows its lane: easy-drinking bottles for waterfront brunches and long dinners.
The list leans Old World with solid Bordeaux representation and California classics filling out the roster. You'll find everything from Dry Creek Zinfandel to Napa Cab, with a respectable nod to Burgundy and the Loire. The spread hits the major regions without going deep into any one — no obscure appellations or natural wine rabbit holes here. It's a crowd-pleaser approach that works for a venue where people come for the views as much as the vino. The bottle range ($50-$166) keeps most options accessible, though the top-shelf picks like Heitz Cellar and Merry Edwards show they're not afraid to stock serious wine.
The by-the-glass program runs lean but competent — at least five options priced $14-$16. You've got a Pedroncelli Zinfandel, a Bordeaux Cabernet, and even a Sauternes dessert pour, which is a nice touch most casual spots skip. The selection rotates slowly based on what we've seen, so don't expect weekly discoveries, but the wines they've chosen are reliable and food-friendly.
Pedroncelli Zinfandel, Dry Creek Valley, 2023 — $15
Classic Dry Creek producer at a fair glass price — peppery, fruit-forward, and perfect for their charcuterie boards
Sauternes, De L'alliance, Bordeaux, 2019
Most people walk right past dessert wine, but this Sauternes by the glass is a steal for something this elegant — pair it with cheese or sip it solo
Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, 2019
$166 is steep for a wine bar without somm service or proper stemware — you're paying for the name in a setting that doesn't support it
Chateau Lauduc Cabernet Sauvignon, Bordeaux, 2022 + Steak Frites
Classic Bordeaux structure cuts through the richness of the steak while the earthy tannins match the crispy frites — textbook pairing
The Bottom Line
Easy Company delivers exactly what a waterfront wine bar should: a dependable list with fair pricing and enough range to keep things interesting without overwhelming. It's not a destination for wine geeks, but it's a solid neighborhood spot where you can drink well without overthinking it.
· Washington · Mediterranean
Zaytinya's wine list is one of the more focused and honest Greek programs you'll find at a mid-to-high scale restaurant in D.C. The by-the-glass selection is wide, the pricing doesn't insult you, and the Greek variety depth is genuinely impressive. If you've been waiting for a reason to finally figure out what Xinomavro tastes like, this is your spot.

· Washington · Brazilian Steakhouse
Fogo de Chão's wine list is exactly what a national Brazilian steakhouse chain's wine list looks like: functional, familiar, and priced for margin rather than your benefit. The by-the-glass count is impressive on paper, but most of the options are labels you've seen at your grocery store for a fraction of what they're charging here. If you're coming for the meat — and you should be — stick to the Catena Malbec and enjoy the show.

Washington · Washington · Steak House
A 20-wine by-the-glass list with every pour between $14 and $30, split across four sparkling, six white, two rosé and eight red. With a steak, start with the $26 Clos Duval Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon or the $22 Monte Antico Supremus; for the cheapest glass, take the $14 Dr. Loosen Riesling. Pour sizes aren't posted and the page is undated, so confirm today's wines. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown DC · Washington · Steakhouse
A steakhouse beverage menu with 30 wines by the glass and a bottle list that is mostly California, with some France, Italy and Portugal. Start with the $9/glass happy hour Bonanza Cabernet if you arrive in the window, or the Eroica Riesling, the only Riesling on the glass list, and ask for prices because regular wine prices aren't posted. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Georgetown · Washington · Seafood, Steakhouse
An unpriced list that is easier to read for what it offers than for what it costs. If you want Bordeaux, ask for the 2020 Margaux de Brane Cantenac, or look at the Brunello di Montalcino in Sommelier's Selections, and get the price before you commit. This unrated guide covers the posted Beverage Menu, not service, storage or markups.
Washington · Washington · Latin, Vegetarian
A wide-ranging list with 14 wines by the glass from $17 to $95 and a bottle book that runs from $60 to $1,275. Start with the $17 Eichinger Grüner Veltliner or the $20 Pêcheur Trousseau, and ask for the Natural Wines section if you want something low-intervention.
